Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning views from the terrace and lovely furnished rooms. It took me a bit of time to get used to the bathroom not being completely separate from the bedroom, but overall, it was a great stay. The service was exceptional with friendly and knowledgeable staff, though more vegetarian/vegan options on the menu could enhance the experience. The location is beautiful, perfect for exploring the lakes, but could be more welcoming. The dining experience was excellent, serving good quality food with a few minor hiccups. The facilities are top-notch, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were big, spacious, and stylish, providing ultimate comfort. The service was pleasant and attentive, and the location was lovely and convenient for exploring the area. However, the dining experience fell slightly short of expectations. The hotel facilities were great, offering a range of amenities. The value for money was reasonable, making it a good choice for a relaxing getaway.
